Title: Garment having rope-carrying pocket
Inventor: GRILLIOT MARY I
IPC: A41D13/00
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: A garment, such as a coat, shirt, or jacket, for a firefighter, a rescue worker, a forestry worker, or another worker having to carry a rope has a back portion and two front portions, each front portion extending from the back portion at one side of the garment. A back pocket extending at least substantially across the back portion, between the sides of the garment, is adapted to carry a rope placed in a zigzag pattern. A front pocket extending at least partially across one of the front portions of the garment communicates with the back pocket, through a slit in the garment, so that a rope carried within the back pocket is removable through the slit and through the front pocket. A front flap overlies the front pocket and the slit. The back pocket is accessible from the interior of the garment and the front pocket is accessible from the exterior of the garment. A strip coacting with the back portion to define the back pocket has an upper edge and a lower edge. The lower edge is affixed to the back portion of the garment, at least substantially across the back portion of the garment, and the upper edge is fastened removably to the back portion of the garment via a hook-and-loop fastener extending at least substantially across the back portion of the garment. A liner of the garment is displaceable to permit access to the back pocket. In an alternative embodiment, which is similar otherwise, the back pocket is an exterior pocket.

Abstract: The invention relates to circulating subs for use in wellbores, particularly but not exclusively to circulating subs used during downhole drilling operations. The apparatus of the present invention is characterised by controlling means for controlling the movement of a sleeve between first (closed) and second (open) positions; the controlling means comprising: a control member (24) slidably mounted in a body (4) and moveable by fluid pressure in the body (4) in a first axial direction relative to the body (4); a spring (38) biasing the control member (24) in an opposite axial direction of the body (4); a pin (48) secured to one of the body (4) and the control member (24);  and a control groove (32) in which a portion of the pin (48) is received formed in the other of the body (4) and the control member (24), the central groove (32) being shaped to limit axial displacement of the control member (24) in response to pressure variations in the body (4) such that only after a predetermined number of movements of the control member (24) to a first limit position is the control member (24) able to move to a second limit position to displace the sleeve (52) into the second position of the sleeve (52). The present apparatus thereby has the advantage over the prior art of being reliable and convenient to use, and compatible with the use of wireline or coil tubing tools. The apparatus may also be reset many times whilst remaining in a downhole position and is therefore less time consuming and less expensive to use than the prior art.

Abstract: A multiple virtual router is a subsystem that allows multiple network layer protocols (i.e. IP, IPX and Bridging protocols) to co-exist on the same physical port 14. It provides a common set of interfaces between the Media Layer and the protocol processes. Media events or changes in the protocol port (i.e. port deletion, media deregistration, media registration, media state change, media mtu change, connectionless routing metric change, etc.) may be broadcast to each protocol giving them an accurate view of the system. A multiple virtual router is disclosed which includes a housing and multiple routing modules distributed therein. A separate table is associated with each protocol within each routing module. The multiple virtual router also includes a management module for configuring the routing modules. Communications between the management module and the routing modules occurs out of band from the user traffic. Further, the housing has multiple ports each of which is logically coupleable to different routing modules.

Title: Safe auto-starter
Inventor: BARDHAN BIBHUTI BHUSAN
IPC: F02N11/10
Filed: 1999-01-15
Abstract: This is an automobile engine "auto-starter system" that shuts off the engine (or prevents the engine from starting) as soon as it senses any, or any dangerous level (as preset) of, carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the vicinity. It does so electronically with the help of a carbon monoxide detector. This will prevent poisoning and accidental death or harm from build-up of any dangerous level of the potentially lethal or harmful carbon monoxide especially in places like an improperly ventilated garage.

Title: Diesel additive for improving cetane, lubricity, and stability
Inventor: BERLOWITZ PAUL JOSEPH
IPC: C10L10/08
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: A process for producing additive compositions, especially via a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, useful for improving the cetane number or lubricity, or both the cetane number and lubricity, of a mid-distillate, diesel fuel. In producing the additive, the product of a Fischer-Tropsch reaction is separated into a high boiling fraction and a low boiling, e.g., a 700 °F-fraction. The high boiling fraction is hydroisomerized at conditions sufficient to convert it to a 700 °F-low boiling fraction, the latter being blended with the 700 °F-fraction and the diesel additive is recovered therefrom.

Abstract: A seat for, for example, an aircraft has an open outer shell which embraces a seat portion, a seat back, a headrest and a footrest when the seat is in an upright position. Also embraced by the shell are a pair of arm rests. The seat is reclinable into a bed configuration such that the seat portion is moved forwardly out of the open end of the shell. Simultaneously, the arm rests are movable between the raised position and the position substantially flush with the seat portion. In the bed configuration the removal of the arm rests from the raised position significantly increases the width of the bed, thus enhancing the comfort of the user.

Title: Method and device for processing reducing gas for reducing ores
Inventor: ROSENFELLNER GERALD
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method which optimizes the reduction process at a given ore quality. The reducing gas (7) is analyzed by the gas sensor (1) and divided into two split streams. The mass flow of the split stream to be oxidized is controlled by means of the control valve (3) and then reaches the burner (4) where oxidation takes place. The other reducing gas (7) split stream is controlled at the shaft by means of the control valve (2) in line with the quantity of gas required, raised to the required temperature in the heat exchanger (11) and combined with the oxidized split stream of reducing gas. The gas components are determined by means of the gas sensor (13) and, if necessary, the gas supply (14) is defined on the basis of mathematical formulae. The invention makes it possible to guide the reduction process towards its stoichiometric optimum at a given ore quality. A further advantage is that the reducing gas can be heated to the desired temperature with a very low oxidant component, so that the gas analysis can be adjusted in wide ranges.
